Hoplites and Pikes

Ralph faced off my Athenians last night with his Pyrrhics we wanted to try out our respective armies for Canberra winter convention coming up. Close game went down to the wire ..... Athenians won but it could have gone either way in the last turn. Thracians on Ralph's side are all new paint jobs, I need to paint up some more skirmishers for my Greeks had to slot in a few Spanish javelin light infantry for the time being.

Thanks guys ...yep that Impetus basing is hard to beat I agree. This was an interesting game both these armies have their 'achilles heal' .... protecting the weaknesses while still staying on the front foot makes for a good tussle.
